“…In her compositions, this young pianist and composer appropriate the New Age music with a grace and intelligence. A true invitation to travel and poetry, this music derive its strength and originality by the polyphony of sound and perfect mastery of the piano…”

The sound of the project is best described as downtempo ambient new age music mixed with ethnic world musics in the vein of "Karma" era Delerium, Amethystium, and Dead Can Dance. Its really a an incredibly beautiful creation and I sincerely recommend it to anyone into newage music styles. I'm looking forward to further releases by this project.
